Scaleup Finance is founded by entrepreneurs, and we know the pains of being a scaleup CEO. One of the biggest recurring pains is the general administration surrounding bookkeeping, payroll, auditing, financial modelling and other admin-type tasks. They drain the founders of energy. Yet another pain is that no solution completely fit a scaleup company. The big accountancy firms or smaller bookkeeping companies/persons are not only expensive but also insufficient. Right now, no offer understand scaleup companies nor are they designed for their needs. The category is stuck in old ways of working, and scaleups do not get any added value. We need to move into a new generation of financial steering to help value creation in scaleups. Scaleup Finance is put into the world to challenge this. We are always one innovative step ahead, and we aim to become a crucial form of actionable business intelligence where you can effectively get an overview of everything which relates to controlling your company. All of this based on unique insights of scaleup companies.

No-code workflow tool for automating and chaining AI prompts. Features a drag-and-drop builder, model flexibility, one-click sharing as apps, and reusable automation templates The biggest issue with working with prompt chaining in ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude is that the increased chat length makes the AI begin to hallucinate. For example, if you want to prompt the AI to write an article, it's almost impossible for it not to begin to make slop and ignore/forget your instructions. For most people, this tool will not be that interesting. Chat interfaces are king for quick questions. But if you've struggled with generating consistent, high quality, content using ChatGPT, then you know exactly the problem this solves.

ABOUT Insurance is one of the biggest recurring household costs - yet the market is built on complexity: dense policies, hard comparisons, and increasingly individualised pricing with little transparency. The result is predictable: people overpay for years, miss critical coverage, or both - and often only find out when it's too late. We're building the consumer layer for private insurance, making it behave like a modern product. Upload your policies and, in under a minute, our AI turns fine print into clear answers: where you're over- or underinsured, where the gaps are, and where you're likely paying too much. We benchmark each policy against an anonymised pool of real policies to recommend better-matched alternatives - shifting knowledge and pricing power back to households. We're early-stage, moving fast, and already proving the need: 50+ customer interviews, 10 households switched, ~28% average savings while improving coverage - plus validation from senior industry professionals, a top-performing insurance salesperson on the team, and initial pre-seed backing from a Bain & Company partner.

MUZE The Brand creates emotionally magnetic branding and content for premium hospitality brands, helping them solve the problem of being seen but not felt, with a foundation in psychology, storytelling, and creative strategy. There’s a huge gap in how premium brands communicate with their ideal clientele. Many, from luxury hospitality and lifestyle brands, struggle to express their unique story in a way that elevates them up the “luxury ladder” of their customer’s ideal reality. They live in a noisy space where attention is sparse. They’re seen, but rarely remembered. The brands that win are the ones people feel connected to and belong to, not just the ones they buy from. That’s where we come in. We build brand worlds. We immerse ourselves in the psychology of their target audience, gain an understanding of cultural cues and emotional triggers, and design a social ecosystem, cinematic content that make a brand feel like an insider’s club. MUZE The Brand started as ABN Media when I was 19, and evolved into MUZE The Brand about a year and a half ago. I built it because I believe premium brand content has lost the plot, too much of it is safe, bland, and forgettable. In the past 10 months MUZE has grown into a team of two, with plans to expand much further as I bring on creative support. I’ve never stayed in a 9–5 for more than four months. I’ve only ever worked a handful of part-time jobs. MUZE is my life, and I pour everything I have into making it the creative partner premium brands can’t afford not to have.
